To think that DS is doing this on purpose?

Every single day DS (19 weeks) has a grizzle at 4pm and then naps from 4:15ish for anything between 20-45 mins. He then has evening routine, and sleeps from abut 8:30pm

So, we make arrangements to drive to London tonight with him, figuring we'll leave at about 8:15, he'll fall asleep in the car, etc.

Today, it is nearly 5pm and he is sitting cooing and smiling away at me, oblivious to the fact that I NEED HIM TO SLEEP! He's going to end up napping late, so not being ready for sleep till later, so we either leave later or have him screaming for the first 30 mins of the car journey.

I am convinced he read my filofax and plotted this.

HaHa

I would try and bring his evening routine forward slightly and try not let him sleep until bedtime.

That will teach him a lesson.

Somehow they just know, don't they!?
My DS has a 6th sense for sex. He's normally a wonderful sleeper, but if Mummy's enjoying a little frivolity with Daddy, you can bank on a good howl - and his timing is AMAZING!

Arghhhh! Just turned around for a moment to put computer down, thinking I'd get on and give him a quick bath and feed and we'd go, and the little toerag darling has nodded off in his bouncy chair!
